Quick PSU question

[kmistry]

Hi there im building a new rig, and am wondering will i need a new PSU? I've had my current one for ages with my xp2200+, 512 ddr, 9800 pro, gigabyte ga7-vax and this is AGP. Its a non branded 550W one, so will it work, or does PCI-E need a different type of connector ? (never built a PCI-E computer before.....

Thanks in advance

PS: Hiper HPU-4M580 Type R 580W ATX2.2 <----is this a good PSU if i did have to buy one (im on budget )

Personally I would update the powersupply. Firstly. unbranded powersupplies hardly ever hit the stated voltage, there shouldnt be any extra connections that you don't have on the new board (unless yours doesn't have the P4 connection which would suprise me). The only power connection you won't have on your power supply is SATA power.

The Hiper powersupplies are good for the cash, a definate upgrade from what you have.

/Edit The Hiper one does come with a dedicated PCI-E connector if your worried about that.
